John Lennon was murdered outside his New York City apartment on December 8 1980, just two days after giving an interview about his friendship and rivalry with Paul McCartney.

When The Beatles split in 1970, the bandmates all went their separate ways with most of them not meeting up again for years. In Paul's book, The Lyrics: 1956 To The Present, he said: "When we broke up and everyone was now flailing around, John turned nasty.

"I don’t really understand why. Maybe because we grew up in Liverpool, where it was always good to get in the first punch of a fight."

John then criticised his former band when he released his first solo album in December 1970, making tensions worse. However, they put aside their differences before the end, with John revealing his true thoughts just days before his untimely end.

Years later, Paul’s wife Linda shared the last thing John ever said about his old bandmate. Considering what was to come, his last words were truly heart-breaking.

Speaking to Ultimate Classic Rock, John said to Paul: “Think about me every now and then, old friend.”

Olivia Harrison opens “Came the Lightening: Twenty Poems for George” with a Pablo Neruda epigraph.


What Harrison seems to have found in this work, being published two decades after the death of her husband, Beatle George Harrison, is a thoughtful, meditative peace. While some of her poems explore the pain and confusion involved in grieving, many more celebrate her 23-year union with a partner who seems the definition of a soulmate.

In his forward to “Came the Lightening,” film director Martin Scorsese dubs Harrison's book a work of “poetic autobiography.” Indeed, Harrison includes a poem about both her childhood and her husband's, recounts the early days of their relationship moving into their Friar Park estate and considers time spent parenting, gardening, visiting with famous friends and being surrounded by music. The poems about coming to terms with being a widow prove just as compelling, looking clear-eyed at loss and building something new on the foundation of what was.

In the mid-1960s, George Harrison found spirituality. Taking LSD opened a door for him. Then his musical and spiritual guru, Ravi Shankar, opened the flood gates. However, when he started playing sitar, reading about Hinduism, chanting, and incorporating more religious themes in his music, some people doubted whether he was genuine about his spirituality. They thought it was only a passing phase.

It wasn’t. George remained religious for the rest of his life. People might have doubted him, but he also doubted another fellow rock star’s spirituality.

George Harrison and his wife, Olivia, welcomed their only son, Dhani, in 1978. They named him after two Indian musical notes. George strived to raise Dhani out of the spotlight and away from his fame. However, that doesn’t mean George shielded him away from anything. The former Beatle didn’t hold back from telling Dhani things and treated him like an adult.Shortly after Dhani was born, George and Olivia decided to keep him as much away from the spotlight as possible. George already wanted to stay away from people, so it wasn’t that hard. George said it was unfortunate that John Lennon’s kids had grown up in the height of publicity and hadn’t gotten a chance to be kids. He didn’t want Dhani to go through a similar thing.

Paul McCartney’s planned new musical wouldn’t be the first time an actual Beatle created something original for Broadway. But it would be wonderful.

Three years ago, McCartney announced he was writing his first musical – a stage adaptation of Frank Capra’s 1946 movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a holiday evergreen in which Jimmy Stewart plays a man disappointed with his life who gets to see what the world would be like had he never been born.

The show seemed likely to wind up on Broadway, considering the credentials of his collaborators: book writer and co-lyricist Lee Hall (Tony winner for “Billy Elliot”; Network); producer Bill Kenwright (Tony-winner for “A Doll’s House” revival; “Passing Strange.”) There was even talk at the time of opening around Christmas, 2020.
